.When working in Swiss, Albert got enough time to expand his polytechnic ideas and dreams. One of the theories he worked is the principle of relativity. In 1905, Einstein published 4 papers in Annalen der Physic, the best physics journal. This was seen as a miracle year for him
.The 4 papers were on, Brownian motion, photoelectric effect, the theory of relativity, matter/ energy relationship while the 4th paper had the famous E=mc2.
4. Relativity and Nobel Prize
.In 1915, Albert finished the theory of relativity that was a culmination of his researches. This theory was investigated and affirmed by different scholars and astronomers. He was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1921 for the photoelectric effect.
.Albert then started touring the world, giving lectures and presentations. But during this time, he received a lot of opposition from Adolf Hitler. The Nazis labeled his work as Jewish physics. At this time, he was being targeted by the Nazis to be killed
